Welcome to the second reading list post of 2022! While this is still mostly a ‘reading list,’ I’ll also be including some TV shows and movies in the upcoming months. This month features four books and one movie. Read on below for the list, and let me know what you’ve been reading (or watching) lately!

So, a few readers know I grew up in rural southern Indiana. The politics out there aren’t great. I mean, really not great. It’s been a bastion of various kinds of far right activity for some time. And it stands in well enough for the rural Midwest as a whole. It’s a bit more southern than, say, rural Iowa. But the politics are close cousins.
At the same time, lots of people – especially liberals – hold various misconceptions about life and politics in the rural Midwest. The truth of the matter is that there’s quite a bit of diversity of thought and opinion in the rural Midwest. Liberals miss that part.
Welcome back to the Corporate Politics 101 series! In my previous post, I updated the infamous Peter Principle for the 2020s. Whereas employees used to rise to their level of incompetence, now they leave and perform the role badly for a different company! Project managers and middle managers unite…and become lateral hires.
In this post, I’ll look at a corollary to the previous one. Since lots of bad managers hop ship to a different company, competence tends to drop as one looks up the corporate hierarchy.
